Avonte Maddox Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Packers vs Lions game on Thursday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 2, 2025
Active in Week 9
Maddox (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has missed the Lions' last two games prior to the Week 8 bye, and his return is invaluable for a Lions defense that is thin at defensive back with injuries to key players such as Kerby Joseph, Erick Hallett, Daniel Thomas, and D.J. Reed. The backup slot corner will likely have utility both defensively and on special teams for Sunday's divisional showdown with the Vikings.
Oct 31, 2025
Questionable versus Minnesota
Maddox (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Maddox missed the Lions' two games prior to the Week 8 bye and could be in danger of missing a third contest. Terrion Arnold, Rock Ya-Sin, Amik Robertson and Arthur Maulet have been seeing the bulk of the cornerback snaps.
Oct 14, 2025
Out through Week 8 bye
Coach Dan Campbell said Maddox (hamstring) will not return prior to the Lions' Week 8 bye, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox will miss next Monday night's date with the Bucs, and Detroit will then head into its bye week. The 29-year-old cornerback was injured in the Lions' Week 5 win over the Bengals. He's played 43 snaps apiece on defense and special teams through five appearances this season.
Oct 11, 2025
Ruled out Week 6
Maddox (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The veteran corner made an appearance on Thursday's practice report after being limited due to a hamstring injury. The injury is severe enough for Maddox to miss Sunday's game, and his next chance to play is Week 7 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20. Arthur Maulet was elevated from the practice squad and could see rotational snaps in the secondary in Maddox's absence.
Oct 10, 2025
Dealing with hamstring injury
Maddox is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury, which was severe enough for him to not practice Friday. That's a trend in the wrong direction for the veteran corner, but his official status may not be known until approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Maddox has provided rotational help in the secondary while also contributing on special teams, but his absence would hurt a Lions secondary that is already without Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and could be missing Brian Branch (ankle) and Kerby Joseph (knee).
Mar 21, 2025
Links up with Lions
Maddox signed a one-year contract with Detroit on Friday, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox, who started 2024 as a starter at slot cornerback for Philadelphia but was replaced by Cooper DeJean during the team's bye, now links up with another NFC contender. He looks primed for a key depth role behind Brian Branch in Detroit.
Feb 16, 2025
Completes healthy 2024 campaign
Maddox finished the 2024 season with 20 total tackles (nine solo) while also adding five passes defensed over 17 regular-season games.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was able to appear in all 17 of the Eagles' regular-season games in 2024 after being limited to just 13 contests over 2022 and 2023 combined. The cornerback will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and could head elsewhere after spending the first seven seasons of his NFL career in Philadelphia.
Aug 20, 2024
May move positions
Maddox has been getting reps at safety during practice this week, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox is likely to lose his role as the team's slot corner to the Eagles' first-round selection in the 2024 Draft, Quinyon Mitchell. The rookie has been getting first-team reps there, leaving the veteran Maddox without a clear role in the secondary as things currently stand.
Apr 4, 2024
Returns to Philly
Maddox and the Eagles agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has only suited up for 13 regular-season games over the past two years, including just four in 2023 due to a torn pectoral muscle. It makes sense for both sides to reunite on a more team friendly deal now, with Maddox getting a chance to return to form in a familiar system before testing free agency again next offseason. The 28-year-old is capable of contributing at a high level as a nickel corner when healthy.
Mar 6, 2024
Gets let go
Maddox was released by the Eagles on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has missed much of the last two seasons, only playing 9 games in 2022, while playing just 4 regular season games in 2023 after suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Week 2. His release will save the Eagles $9.6 million in salary cap space, but Schefter notes that the two sides will keep talking and are open to a reunion.
Jan 4, 2024
Full participant Thursday
Maddox (elbow) was a full participant in practice Thursday after being estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough.
ANALYSIS
Maddox spent 13 games on injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle before returning for the Eagles' Week 17 loss to the Cardinals, but he came away from that game with the elbow issue. However, the cornerback appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with the Giants. Maddox played on 38 percent of the defensive snaps against Arizona.
Jan 3, 2024
Now dealing with elbow issue
Maddox was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough due to an elbow injury.
ANALYSIS
Maddox returned from a 13-game stint on injured reserve Sunday to log 38 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps in a loss to Arizona. His time on IR was due to a torn pectoral muscle, but he's now apparently dealing with an elbow issue. Maddox's practice participation during the remainder of the week should provide insight into his chances of missing Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Giants.
Dec 30, 2023
Activated off IR ahead of Week 17
The Eagles activated Maddox (pectoral) off injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox missed 13 games after tearing his pectoral muscle in Week 2 against Minnesota. The veteran cornerback logged a trio of limited practices this week and didn't have an injury designation heading into the weekend, so his activation off IR was fully expected. Maddox's return comes at an opportune time for the Eagles, as Darius Slay will miss his third straight game due to a knee injury.
Dec 29, 2023
Clear for Sunday
Maddox (pectoral) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has missed the Eagles' last 13 games with this pectoral issue, and despite not having an injury designation in Week 17, he must be activated to the team's active roster in order to suit up Sunday. The addition of Maddox would be huge for a Philadelphia secondary that's already without Darius Slay in Week 17.
Dec 23, 2023
Won't play Week 16
Maddox (pectoral) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Though Maddox was a full participant in Saturday's practice, the 27-year-old cornerback did not get activated off injured reserve and he'll miss Philadelphia's Christmas day contest. With Maddox missing his 13th consecutive game Monday, Eli Ricks and Bradley Roby are expected to see more snaps in the Eagles' secondary.
Dec 21, 2023
Takes next step for return
Maddox (pectoral) was designated to return from injured reserve on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox can now practice with the team as this move opens his 21-day window before he needs to be placed on the 53-man roster. His potential return this season would certainly be a boost for the Eagles' struggling secondary; however, it's not clear how quickly the Pittsburgh product will suit up again for Philadelphia, but he'll be eligible to do so as soon as Monday against the Giants.
Dec 15, 2023
Moving around at practice Friday
Maddox (pectoral) worked out with trainers Friday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
That he's mobile enough to work out at this point is a promising development for his chances of returning to game action this season. It will be worth scanning for Maddox's name on Philadelphia's injury reports ahead of Week 16.
Nov 24, 2023
Could be back this season
Coach Nick Sirianni wouldn't rule out the possibility of Maddox (pectoral) returning at some point this season when asked about it Friday, Dave Zangoro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has been on injured reserve since tearing his pectoral in Week 2 against the Vikings. Sirianni didn't provide a timetable for the cornerback's return, but it's encouraging that Maddox still has a chance to play this season.
Sep 20, 2023
Officially goes on IR
Maddox (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox suffered a torn pectoral in the team's win over the Vikings on Thursday and was expected to have surgery this week to repair it. With the expectation being that he could be out for the rest of the season, his move to IR does not come as a surprise.
Sep 18, 2023
May be done for season
Maddox will have surgery this week to repair a torn pectoral muscle suffered in Thursday's win over the Vikings and will be out indefinitely, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox suffered the injury in the first half of the game and was unable to return. Although a torn pectoral was deemed likely, further opinions along with an MRI confirmed the diagnosis and best course of recovery. The news is certainly a blow to the Eagles secondary, who also currently have James Bradberry in the league's concussion protocols and Reed Blankenship dealing with a rib injury. Maddox will now likely head to IR while more news on his recovery time should come sometime after the surgery is performed.
Sep 15, 2023
May have pec tear
Maddox may have suffered a torn pectoral in Thursday's win over Minnesota, John Clark of NBC Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox is one of the better nickelbacks in the league, and the Eagles struggled in coverage after losing him to a shoulder/chest injury Thursday night. They already were playing without CB James Bradberry (concussion), though he could be back as soon as Week 3. If the torn pectoral is confirmed Maddox will miss multiple games and possibly even the rest of the season.
Sep 14, 2023
Won't return Thursday
Maddox (shoulder) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against Minnesota, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox hurt his left shoulder in the first half and has now been ruled out from returning. Before his departure, he tallied two tackles (one solo). Philadelphia doesn't play again until Monday, Sept. 25, so Maddox will have more time than usual to try to recover in order to be able to play in Week 3.
Sep 14, 2023
Departs with injury Thursday
Maddox exited Thursday's game against Minnesota with an apparent left shoulder injury, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox initially visited the medical tent before heading to the locker room. Per McManus, he appeared to be favoring his left arm/shoulder area. Mario Goodrich could see more work while Maddox remains sidelined.
Aug 10, 2023
Participating in 7-on-7 drills
Maddox (toe) was spotted working with the first-team defense at Thursday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox had been limited early on in training camp with a toe injury but has since moved past the issue. The 27-year-old battled a variety of injuries last season and appeared in only nine games, recording 43 tackles, three pass break ups and one interception. Expect the veteran to be on the field a lot as the team's third cornerback behind Darius Slay and James Bradberry in 2023.
Jul 30, 2023
Limited in practice
Maddox (toe) was a limited participant during training camp Sunday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox suffered a toe injury toward the end of last season, but he did suit up for the Super Bowl. Whether the injury is still affecting him, or if he's being held back for precautionary reasons is unknown. However, considering his importance to the Eagles' secondary, it makes sense for the team to err on the side of caution with the 27-year-old.
Mar 1, 2023
Battles injuries in 2022
Maddox appeared in nine regular-season games and recorded 43 tackles, three pass defenses, three forced fumbles, one sack, one interception and one fumble recovery across 439 defensive snaps.
ANALYSIS
Maddox missed multiple games in a row three separate times during the campaign due to a trio of different injuries, but when available, he was a force for Philadelphia's stout defense. After missing the divisional-round win over the Giants, the fifth-year cornerback returned to action for the NFL Championship Game and Super Bowl, totaling 10 tackles during those two games. He signed a three-year extension with the Eagles during the 2021 season, so he's still under contract for two more seasons and should remain a prominent part of the secondary as long as he stays healthy.
Feb 10, 2023
Set to play in Super Bowl
Maddox (toe) doesn't have a designation ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox picked up a toe injury Week 16 and sat out the Eagles' ensuing three games, but he was able to return for the NFC Championship Game versus the 49ers, recording three tackles on 19 of 41 defensive snaps. He didn't practice at all during the first week of Super Bowl prep, but he followed up back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday with all activity to cap this week. As a result, Maddox is poised to be a part of an Eagles cornerback group Sunday that also includes Darius Slay and James Bradberry.
Feb 10, 2023
Set to play in Super Bowl
Maddox (toe) doesn't have a designation ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox picked up a toe injury Week 16 and sat out the Eagles' ensuing three games, but he was able to return for the NFC Championship Game versus the 49ers, recording three tackles on 19 of 41 defensive snaps. He didn't practice at all during the first week of Super Bowl prep, but he followed up back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday with all activity to cap this week. As a result, Maddox is poised to be a part of an Eagles cornerback group Sunday that also includes Darius Slay and James Bradberry.
Feb 3, 2023
Appears ready for Super Bowl
Maddox (toe) doesn't have a designation after the first week of preparation ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 12.
ANALYSIS
After sustaining a toe injury Week 16, Maddox missed the Eagles' ensuing three games before returning for this past Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers. He since has been listed on Philadelphia practice reports with toe and rest, so despite taking in Friday's session in a walking boot -- per Zach Berman of The Athletic -- Maddox doesn't appear to be in danger of sitting out the Super Bowl considering his lack of designation more than a week ahead of the contest.
Feb 3, 2023
Not practicing
Maddox (toe) has a walking boot on his left foot and isn't practicing Friday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox played 19 snaps in the NFC Championship Game after missing more than a month with a toe injury. If he isn't available for the Super Bowl against Kansas City, the Eagles likely will turn back to Josiah Scott as their slot corner in nickel packages. Maddox still has a week to return to practice before the big game.
Jan 27, 2023
No designation for Sunday
Maddox (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Maddox returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering the toe injury against Dallas on Dec. 24. He remained limited Thursday but upgraded to a full participation Friday and has been cleared for game action. The fifth-year cornerback recorded 43 tackles, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one sack and one interception across nine appearances this season and figures to reprise his role as Philadelphia's top slot corner during the NFC title game.
Jan 26, 2023
Remains iffy for Sunday
Maddox (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Maddox is on the verge of missing a fourth consecutive matchup this weekend due to a toe injury, as the fifth-year cornerback said Thursday that he's still taking it day-by-day, per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia. Maddox also practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, and so Friday's practice/injury report should ultimately provide further clarification regarding the 26-year-old's availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
Jan 25, 2023
Returns to practice Wednesday
Maddox (toe) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
This was Maddox's first time practicing in any capacity since suffering an injury against Dallas on Dec. 24, per Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal. His participation, albeit in a limited fashion, is certainly a great step forward, but the veteran defensive back will likely have to log at least one full practice by Friday if he wants to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
Jan 23, 2023
Could practice again this week
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Monday he's "hopeful" that Maddox (toe) will return to practice Wednesday, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has not practiced or played since he sustained a toe injury in the Week 16 loss to Dallas. While Sirianni did express optimism, he also clarified that the team still needs to see the cornerback perform "the football movements that he has to go out there and do," before deciding if he's fit to play again. The 26-year-old was also seen with a walking boot in the locker room following Saturday's divisional-round win over the Giants, per Frank. Therefore, it could be more likely that Maddox will be ready to return by the Super Bowl if Philadelphia advances with a win during Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Jan 19, 2023
Sitting out Saturday's playoff tilt
Maddox (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Maddox sustained a toe injury during the Week 16 loss to Dallas, leaving him sidelined for the final two games of the regular season. While the Eagles had a week off during the wild-card round as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the 26-year-old cornerback will now miss his third consecutive contest due to this issue. In his absence, defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson will likely slot in at nickel corner while safeties Marcus Epps and Reed Blankenship both see significant usage in the secondary as well.
Jan 6, 2023
Officially out for Week 18
Maddox (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Maddox will miss the regular-season finale due to a toe injury that he suffered during the Philadelphia's Christmas Eve loss to Dallas. C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen), who's on track to play in Week 18, will presumably take over Maddox's usual role as the Eagles' primary slot cornerback.
Dec 26, 2022
Out indefinitely with toe injury
Maddox suffered a significant toe injury in Saturday's loss to the Cowboys and is now expected to remain out indefinitely, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox is now in line to miss the rest of the regular season after sustaining what has since been revealed as a significant toe injury this past weekend in Dallas. While C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) is now eligible to come off injured reserve and possibly work in the slot in place of Maddox, the Eagles also have James Bradberry, Darius Slay and Josiah Scott to handle the team's cornerback duties for the time being.
Dec 24, 2022
Requires walking boot
Maddox (toe) was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot after Saturday's 40-34 defeat in Dallas, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was forced out of Week 16 action after his third-quarter sack of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. If Maddox is forced to miss any time, Josiah Scott would be the top candidate to earn extra snaps at cornerback for the Eagles.
Dec 24, 2022
Hurts toe Saturday
Maddox (toe) won't return to Saturday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Prior to his exit from the contest, Maddox recorded three tackles and a sack. In his absence, Josiah Scott figures to log added cornerback reps for the Eagles.
Dec 10, 2022
Back on active roster
Philadelphia activated Maddox (hamstring) from its injured reserve list to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants.
ANALYSIS
After missing the Eagles' last four games recovering from a hamstring injury, Maddox appears to be in line to play in Week 14. He should reestablish himself as Philadelphia's primary slot corner, an assignment that would draw him across from Richie James on Sunday.
Dec 7, 2022
Designated to return from IR
Maddox (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles have now opened a 21-day practice window for Maddox to return to the active roster following a stint on IR with a hamstring injury. The cornerback has missed the team's last four games and appears unlikely to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Giants. Maddox has produced 27 tackles, three pass deflections, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over six games this year.
Nov 14, 2022
IR-bound with hamstring injury
Philadelphia placed Maddox (hamstring) on its injured reserve list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox will be forced to miss at least the Eagles' next four games as he recovers from a hamstring injury he seems to have sustained in Week 9 at Houston. 2020 fourth-rounder Josiah Scott will likely operate as Philadelphia's primary slot corner until Maddox is healthy enough to play again.
Nov 12, 2022
Won't play versus Washington
Maddox (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game versus the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
After presumably sustaining a hamstring injury during Philadelphia's win at Houston in Week 9, Maddox will be forced to sit out in Week 10 as he recovers. In Maddox's absence, 2020 fourth-rounder Josiah Scott should operate as the Eagles' primary slot corner Monday night.
Nov 11, 2022
Another missed session Friday
Maddox (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Friday marks Maddox' second consecutive missed practice due to a hamstring issue he picked up during Philadelphia's Week 9 contest in Houston. The 26-year-old will have one more opportunity to log any activity Saturday before he'll have to carry an injury designation into Monday's game against Washington. If Maddox is eventually ruled out, as it's currently looking that way, then Zech McPhearson and Josiah Scott (ankle) would be candidates for additional cornerback snaps behind starters James Bradberry and Darius Slay.
Nov 10, 2022
Doesn't practice Thursday
Maddox (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox appears to have picked up an apparent hamstring injury during last Thursday's matchup against Houston, and he was unable to participate in this Thursday's practice as a result. Luckily, the 26-year-old gets the benefit of having 10 days worth of rest between Philadelphia's Week 9 and Week 10 contest, but he'll still presumably need to practice in some capacity either Friday or Saturday to have a shot at playing Monday versus Washington. If Maddox is eventually ruled out, Zech McPhearson and Josiah Scott (ankle) would be candidates for additional cornerback snaps behind starters James Bradberry and Darius Slay.
Oct 14, 2022
Cleared for Week 6
Maddox doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Maddox, who's missed back-to-back games due to an ankle issue, is set to make his first appearance since Week 3. Before his injury, the 2018 fourth-round pick was operating as the Eagles' top nickel corner and played over 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of his appearances. He figures to reprise that role against the Cowboys on Sunday.
Oct 12, 2022
Returns to practice Wednesday
Maddox (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the Eagles' injury repot Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has been shut down with an ankle injury since being ruled out ahead of Philadelphia's Week 4 win over Jacksonville. Therefore, his ability to return to practice in any fashion is an encouraging sign for his possible return heading into this Sunday's game versus Dallas. Maddox logged 16 tackles, two passes defended and an interception while playing as the Eagles' nickel cornerback over the first three games of the season, and his value as a tackler could prove important against a strong Cowboys running game in Week 6.
Oct 7, 2022
Won't play at Arizona
Maddox (ankle) is listed as out for Week 5 at the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Maddox will miss his second consecutive game as he tends to an ankle injury he picked up during practice leading up to Week 4. 2021 fourth-rounder Zech McPhearson should be in line to see more work in nickel and dime packages in Maddox's absence.
Oct 6, 2022
DNP again
Maddox (ankle) did not participate during the Eagles' practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was seen in a walking boot on Philadelphia's sideline after suffering an ankle injury during the team's Week 4 win over Jacksonville. While the 26-year-old did not suit up for the second straight practice, he was seen running light sprints and working on agility drills off to the side Thursday, per Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer. If Maddox cannot log a limited practice Friday, expect Zech McPhearson to step in as the Eagles' nickel corner during Sunday's game against Arizona.
Oct 5, 2022
Logs DNP
Maddox (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Week 4's win over the Jaguars, which ultimately led to him sitting out the contest. He was seen in a walking boot on the sideline during the game, although it was expected to a short-term injury. He is officially questionable for Week 5 against the Cardinals.
Oct 3, 2022
Status uncertain for Week 5
Maddox (ankle) has an uncertain status for Sunday's game against Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox didn't play in the Eagles' Week 4 win over the Jaguars due to an ankle sprain, and he was seen in a walking boot after the game. However, even if he's unable to suit up against the Cardinals, the cornerback isn't believed to be dealing with a long-term injury.
Oct 2, 2022
Spotted in walking boot
Maddox (ankle) was wearing a walking boot during the team's 29-21 win over the Jaguars on Sunday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was ruled out before the game, but his appearance in a walking boot suggests he still may not be ready to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals. His status in practice throughout next week should shed a better light on his recovery time.
Sep 30, 2022
Ruled out for Week 4
Maddox (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox landed on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to an ankle injury, and while the extent of the issue remains unclear, it's severe enough to force him out of Week 4. The fifth-year defensive back has operated as the team's primary slot corner, so his absence will be a significant loss with Christian Kirk and the Jaguars coming to town.
Sep 23, 2022
No injury designation for Week 3
Maddox doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Maddox logged back-to-back limited practices, but he was a full participant Friday and will be good to go for Sunday. Across two games, the veteran defensive back has recorded 11 tackles and one interception across 103 defensive snaps.
Sep 22, 2022
Nab INT in win
Maddox had eight tackles (four solo) and one interception during Monday's 24-7 win against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Maddox finished as the Eagles' second-leading tackler behind inside linebacker T.J. Edwards in Week 2. The cornerback also made a leaping interception on a pass intended for wide receiver Adam Thielen late in the third quarter, marking the second of three picks thrown by quarterback Kirk Cousins on Monday. Maddox should attract plenty of targets while playing in coverage alongside Darius Slay and James Bradberry this season.
Sep 21, 2022
Limited in Wednesday's walkthrough
Maddox (back) was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough.
ANALYSIS
Maddox recorded eight tackles and one interception across 48 defensive snaps during Monday's win over the Vikings, but he presumably picked up a back issue as well. If he doesn't get upgraded to a full participant Thursday or Friday, he may be in danger of missing his first contest of the season.
Jan 10, 2022
Returns to active roster
Maddox was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Maddox spent a week in COVID protocols and was forced to miss Week 18 against the Cowboys. Now that he's cleared protocols, he should return to his starting cornerback job against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Jan 3, 2022
Lands on COVID list
Maddox was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox had four tackles and a pass breakup during Sunday's win over Washington, but he's now on the COVID list in advance of Week 18. He can still clear the league protocols in time for Saturday's matchup with the Cowboys.
Nov 20, 2021
Signs contract extension
Maddox signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract extension with the Eagles on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox spent the first four years of his career in Philadelphia and will be under contract with the team through the 2024 campaign. He's totaled 48 tackles (31 solo), 0.5 sacks, an interception and two forced fumbles to begin the season.
Nov 12, 2021
Will be available Sunday
Maddox (knee) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was a full participant in Friday's practice and will be available Sunday after his injury designation was removed. He will likely assume his usual slot corner role against Denver in Week 10.
Nov 11, 2021
Limited practice Thursday
Maddox (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback suffered the knee injury in Week 9 against the Chargers, but his return to practice is a step in the right direction for his availability for Sunday against the Broncos. Maddox's participation in Friday's practice will provide additional clarity to the situation. If he can't go in Week 10, Josiah Scott and Zech McPhearson would likely take one larger roles in the Eagles' secondary.
Nov 11, 2021
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Maddox (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox returned to Sunday's loss to the Chargers after suffering the knee injury, but the issue is apparently still bothersome a few days later. The 25-year-old may need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance of playing Week 10.
Nov 7, 2021
Returns to Sunday's contest
Maddox (knee) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox injured his knee in the first quarter of the Eagles' Week 9 matchup, but he has returned to the contest. He will reclaim his role as Philly's slot corner -- which had gone to strong safety Andre Chachere during his absence -- for the remainder of Sunday's game.
Nov 7, 2021
Questionable to return Sunday
Maddox (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Maddox suffered a knee injury during the first quarter of the Eagles' Week 9 matchup with the Chargers. If he is unable to return, then Zech McPhearson will be Philly's only healthy backup cornerback behind Darius Slay and Steven Nelson for the remainder of the contest.
Sep 14, 2021
Picked on in win
Maddox put up eight tackles (three assisted) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 32-6 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Maddox played 45 of 72 total snaps as the Eagles' nickel corner. He'll likely see a lot of opportunities to rack up stats this season as opposing quarterbacks look to avoid Darius Slay.

Has competition for starting job
Maddox will compete with the recently-signed Steven Nelson for a spot at corner opposite Darius Slay, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox looked set to reprise his 2020 role opposite Slay despite ranking as one of the worst corners in the league. As a result of the 25-year-old's poor play, there had been rumors of a move to nickel corner all offseason, so he should retain a job of some sort no matter how things play out with Nelson in camp.

Struggles in Year 3
Maddox (knee) had 40 tackles (36 solo) and three defensed passes through 10 games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
Maddox showed potential as a rookie back in 2018, but he's since put together back-to-back campaigns that were marred by injury, including what ended up being a season-ending knee issue in Week 14 of 2020. Moving to the outside in 2020 also didn't prove helpful for the 5-foot-9 cornerback, who opposing teams picked on whenever he was active. In all, Maddox allowed a 67.4 percent completion rate when targeted, and he's now gone two straight years without an interception. Maddox will need to focus on bouncing back in 2021, the final year of his rookie deal, so it's worth noting that new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon was best known for his work with defensive backs during his time at Indianapolis.

Moves to injured reserve
Maddox (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Doug Pederson said the 24-year-old would "miss some time the next couple weeks" after suffering the knee injury last Sunday against the Saints, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next three games. The Eagles will need to make the playoffs for Maddox to have a chance of seeing game action again this season.
Dec 14, 2020
Set to miss multiple games
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Maddox (knee) will "miss some time in the next couple weeks," Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear precisely what Maddox is dealing with, but he won't play in the Week 15 matchup against the Cardinals and is in danger of missing further time. The Eagles' secondary also lost Rodney McLeod (torn ACL) for the season, and Darius Slay went into concussion protocol Sunday. If Slay isn't healthy for the matchup against Arizona, Nickell Robey-Coleman will operate as the No. 1 cornerback with a bevy of inexperienced players behind him on the depth chart.
Dec 13, 2020
Hurts knee Sunday
Maddox left Sunday's game against the Saints with a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Maddox exited in the second quarter. For the time being, Nickell Robey-Coleman could bump outside from his typical slot spot. Otherwise, either Kevon Seymour or Jameson Houston will handle the outside in place of Maddox.
Oct 21, 2020
Ready for Thursday night
Maddox (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's divisional contest against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was limited in Wednesday's practice, but it appears as though he's on track to resume handling his usual starting role at cornerback. Philadelphia's secondary has struggled with Maddox out of the lineup the past three weeks, but the unit will now have an opportunity to get right against Daniel Jones and the Giants.
Oct 20, 2020
Estimated as LP
Maddox (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has missed the last three games, and his estimated LP doesn't necessarily provide optimism for a return for Thursday's game versus the Giants, as the cornerback was limited all week leading up to a Week 6 loss to the Ravens, which he ultimately was inactive for. Still, he'll likely carry a questionable tag into Thursday's divisional clash. If he's unable to go, Nickell Robey-Coleman is expected to start in his place again.
Oct 16, 2020
Ruled out again
Maddox (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Maddox managed to string together a trio of limited practices this week, but he wasn't able to do enough to avoid missing his third straight game. On a brighter note for the Eagles, Darius Slay (concussion) is listed as questionable to face the Ravens and has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol.
Oct 14, 2020
Limited showing Wednesday
Maddox (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was forced to miss his second straight game Sunday with the ankle issue, but the fact that he was able to practice in some capacity is a positive sign. With Darious Slay stuck in concussion protocol, Cre'von LeBlanc, Nickell Robey-Coleman and Craig James are the only healthy cornerbacks on the depth chart at the moment. Maddox will hope to progress to full practice before having a chance to suit up in Sunday's game against Baltimore.
Oct 7, 2020
Still missing practice
Maddox (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Maddox suffered the ankle injury in Week 2's tie against Cincinnati, and has yet to take the field since then. This news certainly isn't good for the Pittsburgh product, as he was only expected to miss a few weeks. If he's forced to miss any more action, expect Cre'von LeBlanc to continue to fill in at cornerback for the time being.
Oct 2, 2020
Won't play Sunday
Maddox (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old is expected to be sidelined 1-to-2 weeks after picking up the ankle injury against the Bengals, so it's not a surprise he won't play versus the 49ers. Cre'Von LeBlanc should fill in at cornerback for the Eagles during his abence.
Sep 29, 2020
Expects to miss 1-2 weeks
Maddox (ankle) expects to miss a week or two due to his injury, Marc Farzetta of 975 Mornings reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury will likely keep Maddox out of the Eagles' Week 4 trip to San Francisco, and it sounds like the cornerback could miss the Week 5 game in Pittsburgh as well. Cre'von LeBlanc should fill in as a starting cornerback for as long as Maddox is out.
Sep 28, 2020
Could miss games
Coach Doug Pederson said Maddox (ankle) may miss some time, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox left Sunday's tie against the Bengals with an ankle injury, and Pederson doesn't sound optimistic that the CB will be available in Week 4 against the 49ers. His status will be monitored throughout the week, but we should know more when the first practice report is released Wednesday. If he's forced to miss any time, Cre'von LeBlanc will likely bump into a starting role.
Sep 27, 2020
Nursing ankle injury
Maddox (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Philadelphia's defense held Joe Burrow and the Bengals to 159 passing yards through the first three quarters of play, but a pair of touchdowns from Burrow to Tee Higgins put the Eagles in a 17-16 hole heading into the final frame. Should Maddox prove unable to return, Nickell Robey-Coleman would see an uptick in usage after fielding 59 percent of the defensive snaps Weeks 1 and 2.
Sep 21, 2020
Eight tackles in loss
Maddox made eight unassisted tackles in Sunday's 37-19 loss over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was picked on early and often as the Rams sought to avoid throwing in the direction of Darius Slay. If the trend continues, Maddox may be among the top options at corner in IDP leagues this season.
Sep 9, 2020
Not listed on injury report
Maddox (lower body) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and is expected to play Sunday versus Washington.
ANALYSIS
Maddox has dealt with this injury for about a week, but he appears to be at full strength heading into his third NFL season. The 24-year-old is poised to start at cornerback this year opposite the unequivocal No. 1 Darius Slay. Last season, Maddox recorded 47 tackles, a sack and 10 pass breakups over 12 games.
Sep 2, 2020
Dealing with injury
Maddox was sidelined from Wednesday's practice due to a lower-body injury, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how Maddox suffered the injury, but he was only listed as day-to-day, signalling the injury isn't considered serious. The 24-year-old is again expected to handle starting duties, after he logged 47 tackles (38 solo), one sack and 10 passes broken up over 12 games in 2019. Although it's too early to tell, if Maddox is forced to miss Week 1, Sidney Jones and Nickell Robey-Coleman would be in line for a bump in snaps.
Jan 19, 2020
10 pass breakups in 2019
Maddox logged 47 tackles (38 solo), one sack, and 10 passes defensed over 12 games in 2019.
ANALYSIS
Maddox played one fewer game than in his rookie season but managed to set new career highs in virtually every relevant category. He missed Weeks 5 through 7 with a neck sprain and a concussion but immediately returned to his role as the starting slot corner, a role he'll likely reprise next season.
Dec 22, 2019
Shakes off injury
Maddox (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
The 2018 second-round pick didn't practice this week until Friday, when he put in a limited session. Maddox logged a 70-percent snap share in last week's win over the Redskins, and he should be in line for a similar workload Sunday.
Dec 20, 2019
Status questionable for Sunday
Maddox (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 16 against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Maddox got a limited practice in Friday, his first appearance of the week. Rasul Douglas would probably see an uptick in playing time if the Pittsburgh product sits.
Sep 27, 2019
Injury details disclosed
Maddox suffered a neck injury and a concussion during Thursday's 34-27 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Maddox exited Thursday's contest on a stretched on the penultimate play of the game. The 23-year-old was immediately taken to a hospital for evaluation, but he was discharged in short order and returned with his teammates to Philadelphia that night. An official timetable his return remains undisclosed, but based on early diagnoses it appears as though Maddox has escaped without an injury that would jeopardize his career. The second-year pro will benefit from some extra recovery days before Week 5's tilt against the Jets.
Sep 26, 2019
Carted off field Thursday
Maddox was carted off the field with an apparent head/neck injury Thursday against the Packers, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Maddox was the recipient of a vicious friendly-fire shot late in the fourth quarter Thursday. The 23-year-old spent a considerable amount of time on the ground before being carried off on a stretcher.
